Polish Music

[isokani]

Great to have the Maklakiewicz cello concerto! Was listening to it last night -- a real treat. Thanks very much. Any more of his available?? I might see if I can check Katowice Academy Library...

[markniew]

as to Maklakiewicz so except the pices already uploaded I do have only the following

Triptich op. 18 for cello and piano (1927)
9 Japanese Songs for soprano and orchestra (1930)
Concertino quasi una fantasia for soprano, piano and orchestra (1930) - fine piece!

"Zlota kaczka" (Golden Duck) - suite from the ballet (1950)"

Perhaps you can find more in Katowice

Marek - just a general "thank you" for all the marvellous Polish music you've been uploading. It's a great pleasure to explore these works and to discover hidden treasures. 

Hello semloh,

it's nice to hear that :-)
I will keep uploading lesser-well known Polish music. most of it has been taken off radio from the Polish Radio archives. only small part was  issued ever commercially.

  Hi malito,   It's my pleasure     I also love Szymanowski !  Wonderful symphony indeed 

Hi A.S.

also thanks for renewed Symphony by Maklakiewicz

Having spent the last week downloading Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Swiss, Swedish, Austrian, German, French, Italian and Dutch Music(with the Latvians, the Japanese and the other Balkans the previous week) and the New World Composers coming up this weekend I think that I just about am ready to finally get round to the massive number of Polish downloads next week...............

Hearing these would be great, if you have time.
I have just started uploading some Russian and Austrian things... Kornauth, Conus, Eiges, Blumenfeld, Obukhov, Protopopov... etc

The Piano Concerto by Jerzy Gablenz is a great pleasure and masterfully orchestrated. How on earth did he come by such skill! A fascinating biography, and a list of his compositions, can be found at:

http://www.usc.edu/dept/polish_music/composer/gablenz.html

I wonder what treasures lie hidden in that list! 

And, how many more would have emerged had he not lost his life so soon....

[Arbuckle]

Thanks Marek for Gablenski, one of my favorite piano concertos ever, can't wait to hear more music by him.

Marek,

I have spent much of today working my way through the Polish Downloads section but have run up against a problem.

A number of works on Page 1 of the section, specifically:

Grazyna Bacewicz:           Piano Concerto
Tadeusz Paciorkiewicz:    Concerto alla barocco
Kazimierz Wilkomirksi:     Symphony Concertante for cello and orchestra
Piotr Moss:                      'Visages': Concerto for Oboe and orchestra
Feliks Nowowiejski:         Oratorio "Quo Vadis"
Wladyslaw Zelenski:        Piano Concerto

are in links which no longer work.

The links are to www.sendspace.com and when I follow the link I get a message saying that the file has been removed.

Is there any possibility of you being able to upload these works again to Mediafire?

[Dundonnell]

More problems, I am afraid

The links to the following works are now invalid:

Artur Malawski:        "Hungaria 1956"
                                  Symphonic Etudes for piano and orchestra
                                  Variations for Symphony Orchestra
                                  Mountaineers' Triptych

Kazimierz Wilkomirski: Symphony Concertante for Cello and Orchestra

Any possibility of them being restored?

[semloh]

More problems, I am afraid

Dear me, Colin, you are having fun! I can just picture your gnashing of teeth and cries of exasperation!   

Sorry, my schadenfreude is in poor taste.
I am sure the uploaders will take pity, and they'll soon be available again!

Well, it wasn't quite that bad but it is frustrating

Obviously new members are joining this forum and other members are trying to catch-up on a backlog of downloads so they would hope to gain access to music which was available but seems to have disappeared.

Hoping that these files can be restored

[markniew]

Yes, I will restore the files uploaded before.
I wonder how to make them available for lon than month or so. Any idea?

[Dundonnell]

If you use Mediafire I am not sure why files should disappear at all. There are files in my own Mediafire collection which have been there for many months.

Some of my first uploads were on a site other than MediaFire and they were deleted after, what? = maybe 90 days if I didn't become a paying member.  Which I didn't...
